Do you need these permissions?
Snorble can be a great play buddy for your child right out of the box; however, we need an active internet and Bluetooth connection for you to fully use Snorble's features. These features include:
- Managing the Snorble smart companion from your phone.
- Saving or updating a bedtime routine.
- Tracking your child's Day Stars progress.
- Downloading new content onto your Snorble.
- Installing important updates on your Snorble.
You can opt out of network and Bluetooth permissions. Just note that you will not have access to all of the available content or features without it.
Step 4: Connect Your Snorble
Now that we have the permissions we need, it's time to link your Snorble to your account.
- Tap Yes, I do! when asked if you have your Snorble with you. We'll scan using Bluetooth to find a nearby Snorble. NOTE: We need Bluetooth to be enabled on your mobile device for us to find your Snorble.
- When we've found a Snorble, their cheeks will begin blinking. If this is the correct Snorble, tap Pair with Snorble.
- Once successfully paired, select the wifi network Snorble should use from the Available networks dropdown, then enter the network password. Once added, tap Share network with Snorble.
- Finally, select the data options you are comfortable sharing with us and tap next.
Why do you need this data?
We'll never collect data without a purpose. Here are the reasons we collect your data from Snorble:

What we use it for

Voice files |
Uploading voice files helps your Snorble better recognize your family's voices and helps us improve Snorble's ability to understand you. ( NOTE: voice recognition will be implemented in a future update.) |
Environmental data |
Is your child's room too loud? Too warm? Environmental data helps us check the conditions of your child's sleep environment and provide insights on how to improve it for the best night's rest. |
Snorble routines |
This helps us see which routines you use or skip. This helps us see how we can improve Snorble over time. |
Snoble health |
Knowing your Snorble's performance lets our Customer Support team troubleshoot if something goes wrong. |
I don't have my Snorble yet!
If you don t have a Snorble to connect yet, tap No, not yet when asked if you have your Snorble with you. This will skip ahead to getting to know your child.
If you skip the Snorble setup step, you can always add your Snorble by tapping Add a device from the Dashboard or the Device List from the navigation menu.
Step 5: Help Snorble Get To Know Your Child
To get the best experience from Snorble, we ll need to know a bit about your child.
- First name helps Snorble refer to your child by their own name. (NOTE: This feature is planned for a future update.)
- Birthday helps us set your child's bedtime routine based on their age.
Once input, tap Save & view dashboard to save your changes. Your Snorble is now set up and ready to provide the best daytime and nighttime experience for your child.
Note: Each Snorble is only meant to be used with one child. Although some features can be used with multiple people, including both adults and children, things such as the Bedtime Experience and Rewards & Milestones are designed to be used with only one child per Snorble.
Optional: Customize Your Bedtime Routine
Snorble recommends an optimal bedtime experience for your child during set-up. If you’d like to customize your bedtime, tap Create bedtime routine from the Dashboard. From here, you can select when your child should be in bed and when they should wake up.
